We are conveniently nestled in the beautiful Southwater Country Park, a 55acre site, which has level surfaced paths providing easygoing lakeside walks. There is a small cordoned beach on the far side of the lake with bbq’s and picnic areas, the park also includes a beautiful wildlife area, which is managed for nature conservation and supports wildlife such as lizards, Nightingales and various butterflies and dragonflies. The adjacent Downs Link bridle way passes through the Park, making it a base to explore further afield by foot or Bike. As well as our own facilities there is also a Visitor Centre and Cafe with toilets. We also have our retail shop on site, UK Kayaking, where you can purchase online or visit to purchase those essential watersport accessories.
